ATYP @ Griffin
2023 UPDATE
Steps & Holes Theatre Company, in association with ATYP, will stage Soul Trading over 6–10 September 2023. Purchase your tickets here.
With great sadness, ATYP has unfortunately had to cancel its 2020 season of Soul Trading by Kate Walder.
The year is 2079. Artificial Intelligence and humans coexist harmoniously. That is, until the appearance of an exceptionally clever AI named Neutron Finch. On the first day of kindergarten, Neutron reads the entire literary works from the history of humanity. This grabs the attention of other AIs at the school, and they start withdrawing from their human buddies.
One night, a group of sixth graders is summoned to the oval. The AIs now know about and want souls. It’s then up to the ‘secret six’ to solve the greatest existential question of all time within a week. Will their soul-searching provide the answers they need to stop the AIs becoming humanity’s worst nightmare?
